Most of the T.V channels are recently air-ing the video of Actress Swetha Menon, allegedly molested by a politician during a public event in Kollam on Friday. The actress, along with actor Kalabhavan Mani was at kollam to inaugurate this year's President Trophy Boat Race.
She didn't give a complaint yet nor revealed the name.
But it is clear from visulas.

The channels started celebrating with debate and conversations now itself.
It's gonna be the headline for several days & will be a shame to the political party that holds the politician.

3 hot buns dat came to Indian app mart recently and is most discussed abt and is competing each other & offering all the services free of cost.

Whom they r, How they make money?? How can they offer free call and msgs,that too international?

How will they make profit from a free app after spending millions on their ad campaigns in television?

Line, an app made by NHN Japan Corporation, which has grown rapidly, amassing over 100 million users since its launch in summer 2011,

is typically labelled as a messaging app – and compared to the likes of WhatsApp, Viber and Skype because it offers free calls and texts.

Line began as a response to disaster. Japan's devastating Tohoku Earthquake in March 2011 damaged telecommunications infrastructure nationwide, obliging employees at NHN Japan, a unit of Korea's NHN Corp, to rely on Internet-based resources to communicate. The company's engineers developed Line to facilitate this. NHN Japan released Line for public use in June 2011.

But in reality Line’s feature set positions it closer to being a social network.

Download Line’s app and you’ll find a matryoshka of other apps and services nestling inside. From games to play with your Line buddies, to utility apps such as Line Camera, which lets you add filters and graphics to photos – à la Instagram.

The application proved hugely popular and by late October Line experienced an unexpected server overload. After concluding that the scalability process needed to be improved, NHN Japan chose to adopt HBase as the primary storage for user profiles, contacts, and groups.

Within eighteen months of its release Line reached 100 million users; six months later it reached 200 million.

WE CHAT:

Pitch stories to every tech writer you know about the threat of dissidents being tracked through the Chinese-owned messaging app WeChat. Because WeChat is climbing in your window, snatching your people up. Your profits–and privacy–may be next.

If you haven’t heard of WeChat, think of it as a better WhatsApp, crossed with the social features of Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, mixed with Skype and a walkie-talkie.

If you ever used ICQ (“I seek you”) back in the day, you have some connection to WeChat’s origins. WeChat’s parent company, Tencent, more or less copied ICQ and launched it in China in 1999 as OICQ (the “O” stands for “open”). Due to potential copyright issues surrounding the name, as well as the fact that “open” ICQ wasn’t actually open, OICQ was later renamed QQ. Today, QQ’s homepage is the ninth-most visited website in the world, and the service has more than 700 million active users.

Every internet company in China, both foreign and domestic, is held legally liable for all content shared through their various platforms. (So are telecom operators, on grounds related to guarding state secrets.) In other words, Tencent does and must censor WeChat messages shared within China. It claims rules are different for content exchanged outside of China. But in January, reports indicated that certain international messages were being censored, too.

So after understanding who they are.. The other part.

How they are making money, after spending a lot n lot for T.V ad's with celebrities.

Line’s downloads in Spain, for example, tripled to 15 million in five months after TV commercials starring celebrities from a popular soap opera were aired this year.

So from playstore and Ios app store they are getting their share.

Whats app started as a free service.Offered everything including free International messages.

Now they discontinued their free service after one year, forcing u to buy.

Also whats app user need not register for using its service.

As you probably already heard in recent news, 1,000,000 Apple UDID’s were leaked. It’s unfortunate that so many apps use UDID’s to identify users since it’s extremely insecure.

This brings me to WhatsApp, a free messaging service, used by millions of people. Their system runs on a modified version of XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol). There is nothing wrong with using XMPP, but there is a problem in how WhatsApp handle authentication.

If you installed WhatsApp on an Android device for example, your password is likely to be an inverse of your phones IMEI number with an MD5 cryptographic hash thrown on top of it (without salt).

md5(strrev(‘your-imei-goes-here’))

Whatsapp is storing all chat logs in a unencrypted sqlite file on the SD card in both Android and BlackBerry. Not sure if that’s still the case, but definitely agree that they need to pay more attention to security.

They are probably not making money right now and focused on gaining market share. They should be making some money though selling user information such as user name, email, address info to third parties as they have the right in the license agreement per their website.

For example, a clause from we chat Privacy Policy shows how they manage user information :-

11.PERSONAL INFORMATION

11.1 This Clause 11 and the Privacy Statement explain how we (either ourselves or acting through Affiliates or other third parties) collect and use your personal information. This Clause and the Privacy Statement only apply to WeChat and the WeChat services.

11.3 The Licensee agrees and acknowledges that personal information means such information that can directly or indirectly identify the Licensee, including the following: the Licensee’s name, ID card no., mobile number, IP address, e-mail address, credit card and other payment-related details, address and certain information regarding the Licensee's use of the Software, internet browsing and surfing habits, and any other information which may be deemed personal information under applicable law and regulation.

WeChat is now enabling some of their corporate accounts to make online transactions with their customers via WeChat. McDonalds for example is offering their WeChat followers the option to buy an attractively priced coupon for an afternoon tea. WeChat will charge a fee over the transactional amount.

NB:- I WILL NEVER USE ANY OF THESE APP UNTIL I AM FORCED TO.

Haa..ha ..didn't got it..?? who is gona force me to use it..

Let me elaborate..wot if the person i am contacting 24*7 moves to we chat.. Then i get forced to switch to we chat , neglecting all its pros and cons..

Hei..with this grand device, in a single phone window u can chat with frnds and watch movie.. edit word files..all in one screen at a time with multi window option.. Half of the screen can be used for videos and other half for fb.

You can adjust the size of window by just scrolling up and down.

A Note II look-alike, Grand has been able to win the hearts of many as soon as it was launched. And if you are looking something closer to Note II, this handset comes as a good deal. A phablet, phone+Tablet

Everything in Jelly Bean feels fast, fluid, and smooth. Moving between home screens and switching between apps is effortless, like turning the pages of a book.
Jelly Bean improves performance throughout the system, including faster orientation changes, quicker switching between recent apps, and smoother and more consistent rendering across the system through vsync and triple buffering.
Jelly Bean has more reactive and uniform touch responses, and makes your Android device even more responsive by boosting your device’s CPU instantly when you touch the screen, and turns it down when you don’t need it, to improve battery life.

Google Now

Google Now gets you just the right information at just the right time.

It tells you today’s weather before you start your day, how much traffic to expect before you leave for work, when the next train will arrive as you’re standing on the platform, or your favorite team's score while they’re playing. And the best part? All of this happens automatically. Cards appear throughout the day at the moment you need them.

It will even show your boarding pass automatically on your phone home screen from your mail when you are at airport after accessing ur location automatically.

The Grand is a dual SIM phone that can support two separate GSM connections HSPA+, 3G supported.Dual SIM enables to receive calls when you are connected with internet or talking to phone with other SIM card. Until recently, dual SIM phones were grossly underpowered and battery capacities on them were quite less. This is certainly not the case with the Samsung Galaxy Grand I9082. The dual SIM phone has a powerful battery that can power the phone for more than a day on normal continuous use. And i am getting 1 & half day bat life with few photo snaps and 2 Hr of internet usage each day.

The Samsung Galaxy Grand I9082 is a versatile phone that has an 8 MP primary camera that is capable of some high resolution photos and video capture. The secondary front facing camera is composed of an upgraded 2 MP camera. The primary camera is capable of Full High Definition video recording at 1920 X 1080p at 30 frames per second. The quality can be adjusted between HD ready to Full HD depending on the amount of space you want to be utilized for each video file. The camera comes with an LED flash that is capable of illuminating your subjects quite adequately even in low light conditions to give you clear images.

The power source of the Samsung Galaxy Grand I9082 is a massive 2100 mAh Li-Ion battery
Samsung Grand comes with dual-core 1.2 GHz processor and includes 1GB RAM. Further, it is available with Broadcom GPU, which makes this phone compatible with most of the HD games and eases the multitasking to a great extent. The handset houses 8GB internal storage and supports microSD card up to 64GB
Include 2GB of free 3G data for 2 months on Vodafone number.

The video player is very functional and supports most formats including AVI and MKV. Full HD 1080p playback is also flawless. You even get a screenshot feature along with the option to tag your friends in the video, edit it or even set a timer to switch it off automatically.

The video pop up play is a good feature , where the movie will play in a small pop up window while you are using any app like fb or on even ur home screen.

Hello friend..Are you using google search?? youtube?? Gmail...maps or any other google products like G+?? den its time to worry abt google stealing your data...Its same as Wot facebook did and still do to make all its profits by selling your personnel preference and data to ad-networks..
All your google searches u made so far are here...
have you ever seen what google recoreded about your search and all..
see it from google itself ..click here http://www.google.com/history
(u need to be logged-in)

Take a look at your dashboard for a full run down of these,
but they include Gmail, Search, Google+, Docs, YouTube, Picassa &
Blogger. When you look down the list it’s actually quite frightening for
someone like me — who due to the nature of my work pretty much lives in
the cloud — how completely Google is woven into the fabric of my life.
But there were a couple of interesting take-outs I got from my little reading session today.

“We may use the name you provide for your Google Profile
across all of the services we offer that require a Google Account. In
addition, we may replace past names associated with your Google Account
so that you are represented consistently across all our services.”

So bad luck if you have a blog under a pseudo-name or use several different personas for business & social activity then.

“If other users already have your email, or other
information that identifies you, we may show them your publicly visible
Google Profile information, such as your name and photo.”

Erm…I don’t necessarily want everyone I reply to by email to know
what I look like and where I live, even if it is only where I live on
the Internet!
After rambling on for 2 and half paragraphs about what they will and
won’t do with regards to data requests & alterations, the last line
states:

“after you delete information from our services, we may
not immediately delete residual copies from our active servers and may
not remove information from our backup systems.”

Is it just me or did Google’s Ts & Cs just thumb its nose at me?
So will I be curbing my use of Google services tomorrow? I’d love to
say yes, but the practicalities of finding & setting up replacements
for everything Google currently manages for me, then porting all that
data across and making sure all the people I interact with for business
know where to find stuff, makes the possibility slim at best. More of a
broadband-pipe dream really.

French regulators have said this week that they will launch an investigation as the new privacy policy doesn’t conform to EU law. Google responded by saying that this uproar was down to complaints from its competitors (life is so hard at the top!).
So, what did I get out of reading the Ts & Cs today apart from a caffeine headache and a couple more wrinkles in my brow?
